ChinaDialogue: Latest responses to Energy leapfrogging in China and India

The Big Picture

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:02:09 -0400

I agree with my fellow commenters. These companies shouldn't be focused on how the market will affect their costs. Global competition creates innovation and everyone benefits. However we can't lose sight of the bigger picture: as more wind farms are produced, coal/oil power plants need to be phased out or we will never get control of this pollution problem. -Thomas Payne

Competition is good

I am particularly pleased to learn of wind power companies being successful in India and in China. With both of the countries increasing appetite for coal, wind energy is necessary to help offset the amount of pollution caused from the coal plants. I truly believe that wind energy, along with solar energy, is our power source of the future. If these countries were to start selling globally would be great. Competition makes for better innovations being made more efficiently; in this case greater energy producing wind turbines at a cheaper price. If these turbines were being sold at competitive prices all around the globe, countries would no doubt greatly increase their wind power capacity.

Two points

1. Gansu the next area for wind siting. Here is an article (in English and Chinese) which highlights that the Chinese government is already focusing attention on publicising Gansu's potential wind resources: 2. I agree, we must ALL consider the implications of these models. No one is excluded from thinking about what lessons can be learnt from these models, at any level or anywhere. This means people involved in market speculation in the US, too. Companies involved in clean tech might need to take a more globalised approach to production in order to make the most out of VC.

Hope the excellent wind power industry of China will have its own core competitive power soon. Also hope Chinese government can give "clean energy" companies more policy support and help them grow stronger. At that time, we will have more blue sky. Mr. Wen emphasis the importance of environmental protection in National People's Congress (NPC). The latest news: Chinese environment watchdog will be upgraded to ministry. I believe tomorrow will be a blue and clean future.

This article is creative and helps broaden my insight. I hope those who are capable in this field can read this article.
